Overview

• Sharing a black‑and‑white Instagram Story captioned "Reunited," Wicks met up with his 2024 pro partner Jowita Przystal, who reshared the post with a heart emoji.
• In a new Heat interview, the 2024 semi‑finalist called his Strictly experience "mad" and said he will be talking about it until he is 80.
• Wicks advised this year's contestants to listen to their professional partners, saying he was "so blessed" to have Przystal and would not have progressed as far without her.
• He added that he looks forward to being in the audience rather than dancing this year, as the confirmed 2025 celebrity lineup begins rehearsals and pairings have yet to be announced.
• Wicks also highlighted off‑show plans, promoting a Staying Relevant live podcast event with Sam Thompson at London's O2 Arena next month, while friend Vicky Pattison prepares for her Strictly debut.
